A Quick Look at the gOS Operating System
,----[ Quote ]
| Given the explosive arrival of Linux into the consumer desktop market, I
| thought it’d be interesting to check out the operating system at the heart of
| the best selling Walmart Linux PC. Let me introduce you to gOS. It’s built
| on top of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, but in choosing the lesser known Enlightenment
| DR 17 window manager the developers have taken a different route towards
| delivering this new distribution.

Desktop Linux: Look Beyond Wal-Mart

| Decisions, decisions. For now, The VAR Guy’s wallet remains closed. But when

| the company’s support and laser-like focus on the Ubuntu Linux customers.

| Microsoft's rivalry with Google heated up considerably this past year when

| (though Desktop Linux has reported that Google has seen gOS and approved
| inclusion of the Google toolbar with the operating system).

Gosh, gOS is good

| I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and
| great looks. It works well and is fast and stable on my laptop. It should

| impressive desktop environment, and the iBar is a low-overhead way to blend
| cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it.

| Based on Ubuntu 7.10 Linux system with an Enlightenment E17 interface, the
